LAKE  MEMPHREMAGOG. 


Ix  the  great  basin  that  lies  between  the 
White  and  Green  Mountains,  and  on  the  bor- 
ders of  Vermont  and  Canada,  is  Lake  Memphre- 
^o,gog,  one  of  the  loveliest  inland  lakes  within 
the  limits  of  New  England.  Its  name  is  of 
Indian  origin,  and  signifies  Beautiful  Water. 
Though  differing  in  many  particulars,  in  gen- 
eral appearance  it  more  nearly  resembles  the 
far-famed  Lake  George  than  any  other  body 
of  water  that  has  come  under  our  observation, 
and  is  so  regarded  by  old  travelers  who  are 
familiar  with  both.  There  are  no  marshes 
along  its  borders,  and  its  shores  are  rock-bound, 
while  the  water  is  cold  and  clear  as  crystal. 
Here  and  there  are  beautiful  islands,  covered 
with    spruce    and  other  forest   trees,  adding 


THE  SCENERY. 


variety  to  the  scene.  On  the  west  shore  are 
high  mountains,  overlooking  the  lake  and  the 
country  around  it,  while  on  the  east  is  a  long 
range  of  hills,  sloping  down  in  places  to  the 
water's  edge.  The  scenery,  which  is  so  varied, 
is  quite  unlike  any  found  elsewhere  in  Kew 
England,  and  there  is  a  charm  about  it  that  is 
fascinating  to  all  lovers  of  the  picturesque  and 
beautiful  in  nature.  It  matters  not  whether 
one  is  silently  studying  the  myriad  forms  of 
beauty  that  are  spread  before  him  in  so  great 
profusion,  or  is  gazing  upon  the  distant  moun- 
tain peaks  that  seem  to  touch  the  blue  sky 
above,  or  is  watching  the  golden  shadows  that 
flit  across  the  placid  lake,  there  is  something 
that  is  so  suggestive  and  so  beautiful  that  the 
eye  never  wearies  and  the  mind  is  refreshed 
with  this  communion  with  nature.  As  the 
steamer  plows  the  lake  close  up  to  the  lofty 
mountain,  going  within  its  very  shadows,  and 
the  eye  takes  in  the  scenery  that  is  so  unlike 
anything  that  it  is  accustomed  to,  the  traveler 


LAKE   MEMPHREMAGOO. 


catches  some  of  that  inspiration  that  must  have 
animated  those  dusky  sons  of  the  forest,  and 
lead  them  to  exclaim,  when  they  first  looked 
down  from  the  wood-crowned  hights  above 
upon  the  long  and  narrow  lake,  stretching 
away  to  the  north, "  Memphremagog  ! '' — Beau- 
tiful Water! 

There  is  something,  too,  in  this  northern  air 
that  exhilarates  and  increases  one's  love  of  na- 
ture. The  heavy,  murky  atmosphere  that  is 
so  oppressive  in  midsummer  in  the  over-heated 
cities,  is  unknown  here  on  the  banks  of  Mem- 
phremagog.  The  currents  of  air  that  flow  over 
and  are  cooled  on  the  high  mountain  elevations, 
or  come  up  the  lake,  seem  to  give  one  new 
life,  infusing  greater  animation.  The  sunsets, 
too,  are  peculiarly  beautiful.  The  blue  sky 
seems  almost  transparent,  while  the  golden 
tinge  that  is  shed  over  land  and  water,  gives 
the  face  of  nature  a  charm  and  a  coloring  that 
sets  the  painter's  art  at  defiance.  It  touches 
and  quickens  the  inner  nature  of  man,  and  he

longs  for  a  closer  intimacy  with  that  Spirit  which 
seems  to  pervade  everything,  and  create  so 
much  that  is  wonderful  and  beautiful. 

The  lake  is  from  one  to  two  miles  wide  on 
an  average,  and  is  thirty  miles  long,  reaching 
from  the  village  of  Newport,  in  Vermont,  on 
the  south,  to  Magog,  a  Canadian  hamlet,  on 
the  north.  Full  two-thirds  of  the  lake  is  ia 
Canada,  and  the  boundary  line  is  easily  dis- 
tinguished— south  of  it  there  being  more  thrift 
and  enterprise  ,than  is  seen  just  north  over  the 
line  in  Canada.  The  water  in  most  places  is 
very  deep  and  cold,  and  is  just  the  place  for 
the  lake  trout  which  are  caught  each  year  in 
great  abundance.  On  the  east  shore  of  the 
lake  are  the  summer  cottages  of  some  of  the 
wealthiest  people  in  Montreal,  who  always 
spend  the  warm  season  here.  Among  those 
who  own  cottages  are  Judge  Day,  Mr.  Molson, 
the  Montreal  banker,  and  Hugh  Allan,  Presi- 
dent of  the  Montreal  and  Liverpool  Steamship 
Company.     The  latter  owns  a  steam  yacht  in 


THE   WONDERS    OF    MEMPHREMAGOG.         9 

which  himself  and  friends  sail  up  and  down  the 
lake  at  will,  enjoying  the  cool  and  invigorating 
breeze,  and  the  beautiful  lake  and  mountain 
scenery.  -  •    '     •   , 


BALANCE   ROCK  AND   SKINNER'S   CAVE. 

Two  of  the  principal  objects  of  interest  in 
the  lake  are  Balance  Rock  and  Skinner's  Cave. 
They  are  situated  on  islands  about  twelve 
miles  north  of  the  southern  end  of  the  lake. 
Our  artist  has  given  a  good  representation  of 
Balance  Rock,  which  is  on  Long  Island,  and 
will  be  noticed  at  the  southern  end  as  the 
steamer  goes  north.  It  is  a  great  granite 
bowlder  poised  upon  a  single  point,  and  must 
have  been  brought  down  from  the  north  in  the 
great  flow  of  ice  that  is  supposed  to  have  taken 
place  in  remote  ages,  and  here  lodged. 

Skinner's  Cave  is  at  the  north  end  of  Skin- 
ner's Island.  There  is  a  legend  connected 
with  this  cave,  that  is  handsomely  told  in  verse, 
and  can  be  found  in  Burt's  Connecticut  Valley

LAKE    M£MPHR£MAGOQ.  ' 


and  White  Mountain  Guide,  and  all  lovers  of 
the  mysterious  will  be  interested  in  reading  it. 
The  island  was  named  after  Capt.  Uriah  Skin- 
ner, the  bold  smuggler  of  Magog,  and  the  legend 
has  reference  to  this  remarkable  character  who 
flourished  along  this  lake  many  years  ago.  * 


owl's  head. 

A  range  of  mountains  extends  nearly  the 
whole  length  of  the  western  shore  of  Mem 
phremagog,  the  most  prominent  of  which  is 
Owl's  Head.  The  base  of  this  mountain  is 
twelve  miles  from  the  southern  end  of  the  lake. 
It  rises  quite  abruptly  from  the  shore  of  the 
lake,  and  as  seen  from  one  point,  looks  like  a 
great  hay  stack,  the  top  of  which  seems  to 
come  to  a  sharp  point.  The  summit  is  nearly 
3,000  feet  above  the  lake,  and  is  one  mass  of 
jagged  rock,  looking  as  though  it  had  been 
broken  up  by  some  volcanic  agency.  In  one 
of  the  rock  chambers  on  the  summit,  the 
Golden  Rule  Lodge  of  Free  Masons,  of  Stan-

stead,  Canada,  hold  a  lodge  once  a  year,  on  the 
24th  of  June.  Masonic  emblems  and  inscrip- 
tions are  found  painted  on  the  rock  where  the 
lodge  is  held. 

The  view  from  the  summit  is  remarkably 
beautiful,  as  well  as  extensive.  From  it  one 
can  get  a  better  idea  of  the  wildness  of  the 
scenery  of  northern  Vermont  and  Canada  than 
from  any  other  point.  North,  the  great  Cana- 
dian forest  seems  to  stretch  away  to  the  Kiver 
St.  Lawrence.  In  a  clear  day,  with  the  aid 
of  a  glass,  the  tall,  bright  spires  of  Montreal  are 
visible.  West,  is  the  Green  Mountain  range, 
Jay  Peak  standing  prominently  in  the  fore- 
ground. South-east  are  the  White  Mountains, 
Mount  Washington  reaching  above  its  lofty 
neighbors.  The  more  immediate  view  is  also 
equally  interesting,  and  includes  the  lakes 
and  yillages  that  help  to  add  variety  to  the 
scene.  No  one  should  fail  to  visit  the 
•ummit  of  Owl's  Head.  The  steamer  landa

is  a  goocr  foot-path  up  the  side  of  the  moun- 
tain, nearly  all  the  way  through  the  thick  forest. 
One  can  have  ample  time  to  ascend  the  moun- 
tain, enjoy  the  beutiful  view,  and  return  before 
the  steamer  gets  back  from  Magog.  The 
Mountain  House  is  delightfully  situated,  and  a 
short  stay  here  is  always  enjoyed.  The  view 
from  the  wharf  is  very  fine.  Here  can  be  ob- 
tained boats  for  fishing,  or  to  take  a  sail  to  Bal- 
ance Rock  or  Skinner's  Cave. 

North  of  Owl's  Head  is  Mount  Elephantis, 
resembling  a  huge  elephant  in  repose,  when 
viewed  from  one  point.  Just  north  of  the  north- 
ern end  of  the  lake  is  Mt  Orford,  the  highest 
point  of  land  in  Lower  Canada.  It  is  8,800  feet 
high,  and  a  carriage  road  has  been  constructed 
to  its  summit. 

The  only  village  on  the  shore  of  the  lake 
between  Newport  and  Magog  is  Georgeville,  on 
the  east  side.  The  steamer  touches  at  Knowl- 
ton's  Landing,  on  the  west  side,  and  opposite 
Georgeville,  to  accommodate  passengers  going 


PROVINCE   ISLAND.

by  stage  to  Waterloo,  and  thence  by  cars  to 
Montreal,  over  the  Bolton  Mountains  and  by 
way  of  Broome  Lake.  Passengers  for  the  same 
destination  have  the  alternative  of  this  route  or 
the  still  more  beautiful  one  from  Magog,  be- 
neath Orford  Mountain  and  along  the  pictur- 
esque shores  of  Orford  Lake.  The  last  named 
route  is  four  miles  shorter  staging,  besides  al- 
lowing passengers  to  view  the  whole  length  of 
Memphremagog. 


THE   ISLANDS. 

There  are  more  than  twenty  islands  in  the 
lake,  the  largest  of  which  is  known  as  Province 
Island.  It  contains  a  hundred  acre?  of  good 
land.  The  boundary  line  between  the  United

southern  end.  It  was  owned  by  the  late  Carlos 
Pierce  of  Boston,  who  hail  a  farm  and  a  summer 
residence  in  Stanstead.  It  has  been  devoted  to 
grazing  purposes,  and  on  it  have  been  kept 
some  of  Mr.  Pierce's  celebrated  stock.

LAKE   MKMPURKMAQOQ. 


THK   NEW    IRON    STEAMER,   LADY   OF    THE 

LAKE. 

.  The  steamer  Mountain  Maid  being  insuf- 
ficient to  meet  the  wants  of  pleasure  seekers, 
a  new  iron  steamer  was  built  and  placed  on  the 
lake,  and  is  now  under  the  command  of  Capt. 
George  W.  Fogg,  assisted  by  George  C.  Merrill 
as  purser,  both  of  whom  have  seen  long  service 
on  the  lake.  The  hull,  which  is  of  iron,  was 
built  on  the  Clyde,  at  Glasgow,  Scotland.  It 
was  brought  to  this  country,  and  the  steamer 
completed  at  Magog,  where  it  was  launched. 
It  is  170  feet  long,  and  is  divided  into  four 
water-tight  compartments.  It  is  neatly  and 
conveniently  fitted  up  with  dining-saloon  and 
ladies'  cabin,  and  everything  has  been  done  to 
make  it  a  first  class  pleasure  boat.  It  was 
christened  the  Lady  of  the  Lake,  by  which 
name  it  is  now  known.  It  will  run  17  miles  an 
hour,  makes  two  trips  daily  between  Newport 
and  Magog,  leaving  Newport  after  breakfast  on 
it«  first  trip,  and  just  after  dinner  for  the  sec-

ond.  It  takes  about  three  hours  to  raa^?  the 
run,  ^.ncludihg  stops;  from  one  end  of  the  lake 
to  the  other. 


PLEASURE    BOATS. 

In  addition  to  the  beautiful  steamer.  Lady  or 
the  Lake,  on  which  pleasure-seekers  can  go  up 
and  down  the  lake,  and  stop  at  all  the  points  of 
interest,  there  are  row,  and  sail-boats  at  New- 
port, which  can  be  had  at  any  hour.  There  is 
generally  a  good  breeze  on  the  lake,  and  noth- 
ing is  more  pleasing  and  invigorating  than  sail- 
ing, or  rowing  from  point  to  point  as  taste  er 
inclination  may  suggests.  The  steam  yacht 
Water  Witch  with  a  speed  of  eight  miles  an 
hour  is  also  at  the  command  of  pleasure  or 
fishing  parties,  and  can  be  landed  at  any  of  the 
islands  or  along  the  shore,  as  may  be  desired.

pleasant  country  villages  so  common  in  New 
England.  It  has  a  neat  and  thrifty  appearance, 
and  everything  about  it  indicates  enterprise. 
Here  is  situated  upon  the  shore  of  the  lake, 
the  famous 


MEMPHREMAGOG   HOUSE, 

So  well  known  to  pleasure  travelers.  It  has 
been  enlarged  and  greatly  improved,  and  is  now 
one  of  the  largest  and  finest  hotels  in  New  Eng- 
land. It  is  four  stories  high,  and  presents  a 
front  on  Main  Street,  of  nearly  200  feet.  It  will 
easily  accommodate  400  people.  It  is  supplied 
with  water,  gas,  and  steam,  and  is  fitted  up  in 
every  department  with  all  the  modern  improve- 
ments and  conveniences.  In  the  basement  front- 
ing on  the  park,  and  the  lake,  are  billiard-rooms 
and  bowling-alleys  for  ladies  and  gentlemen. 
Near  the  hotel,  and  connected  with  it,  is  a  large 
livery  stable,  where  the  best  of  horses  and  car- 
riages are  kept  for  the  accommodation  of  guests. 
The  hotel  is  pleasantly  situated,  and  its  broad

piazzas  command  a  charming  view  of  ti^e  lake 
and  the  mountains.  There  is  nothing  more 
gorgeous  and  heautiful  than  the  «unset  views 
obtained  from  the  north  piazzas,  which  over- 
look the  lake.  The  steamer  Ladj  of  the  Lake 
receives  and  lands  its  passengers  close  to  the 
hotel,  while  the  depot  is  only  a  few  rods  distant. 
The  proprietors  of  the  hotel  are  Bowman  & 
Co.,  long  known  to  the  traveling  public,  and 
who  have  no  superiors  in  their  profession. 
Every  attention  will  be  shown  to  guests  to  make 
their  stay  agreeable. 


TROUT    FISHING. 

There  is  no  better  place  for  fishing  than 
Northern  Vermont.  The  small  streams  all 
about  Newport  and  vicinity  are  filled  with 
brook  trout  which  are  caught  in  great  abun- 
dance. In  certain  seasons  of  the  year  fishing  in 
Memphremagog  for  lake  trout  is  rare  sport. 
The  fish  resemble  in  general  appearance  brook 
trout,   but  are   much   larger.      They   usually

weigh  from  three  to  five  pounds,  though  from 
ten  to  fifteen  pounds  is  not  an  unusual  weight, 
and  there  have  been  caught  those  that  weighed 
forty  pounds.  The  best  fishing  places  in  the 
lake  are  in  the  vicinity  of  Owl's  Head,  where 
the  water  is  the  deepest  and  coldest. 


ABOUT   NEWPORT. 

The  walks  and  drives  about  Newport  are 
exceedingly  pleasant.  The  view  from  Pros- 
pect Hill,  south-west  of  the  Hotel,  is  not  ex- 
celled by  any  in  New  England.  It  commands 
the  lake  nxtd  surrounding  country  for  many 
miles.  From  it  there  is  a  good  view  of  Jay 
Peak,  of  the  Green  Mountain  range.  Clyde  and 
Coventry  Falls  are  among  the  places  of  interest 
within  easy  drive  from  the  hotel.  The  village 
of  Stanstead,  just  over  the  line  in  Canada,  is 
worth  visiting.  It  is  a  good  representative  of 
the  thriving  Canadian  towns.

JAY    PEAK    AND    LAKE    WILLOUGHBY.      23 
JAY   PEAK, 

Fourteen  miles  west  of  Newport,  stands  sec- 
ond in  point  of  height  of  the  mountains  in 
Vermont,  Mt.  Mansfield  only  excelling  it.  It 
is  easily  reached  by  carriage  from  Newport,  and 
there  is  a  carriage  road  nearly  to  its  summit. 

LAKE    WILLOUGHBY. 

Little  over  twenty  miles  south  of  Newport  is 
Willoughby  Lake,  one  of  the  most  remarkable 
places  on  the  continent.  At  some  period  in 
the  earth's  history  a  high  mountain  has  been 
cut  open,  and  in  the  gorge  lies  Willoughby 
Lake.  The  lake  is  six  miles  long,  and  from 
half  a  mile  to  two  miles  wide.  On  each  side 
of  it  are  mountains  rising  almost  perpendicu- 
larly nearly  2,500  feet.  On  the  east  side  there 
is  just  room  enough  between  the  great  frowning 
wall  above  and  the  shore  of  the  lake  for  a  car- 
riage road.  The  lake  is  very  deep  and  has 
been  sounded  with  a  line  six  hundred  feet  long 
and  no  bottom  was  found.     A  full  description

The  trareler  in  going  to  the  lake  should  leave 
the  railroad  at  West  Burke,  twenty-eight  miles 
south  of  Newport  and  then  go  by  stage  six 
miles.  The  sketch  given  by  our  artist  was 
taken  near  Province  Island,  while  coming  up 
Lake  Memphremagog  on  the  steamer  from

train  to  Boston  via  Springfield,  can  remain  over 
night  at  Springfield,  and  leave  at  8  o'clock  next 
corning  for  Newport,  or  if  they  leave  New 
York  by  the  3  P.  M.  express,  they  can  proceed

to  Newport  that  night.  Elegant  ladies'  cars, 
built  A'-itli  special  reference  to  the  pleasure 
travel,  run  through  from  Springfield  to  New- 
port so  that  there  is  no  change  of  cars  between 
the  two  points.  Ample  time  is  given  for  din- 
ner at  White  River  Junction,  and  the  traveler 
reaches  Newport  at  6.30,  in  time  for  supper. 
The  scenery  through  the  Connecticut  Valley 
is  delightful.  All  the  points  of  interest  on  the 
entire  route  are  described  in  "  The  Connecticut 
by  Daylight,"  by  Thursty  McQuill. 

Pullman  Palace  Sleeping  Cars  have  been  put 
on  the  route  from  Boston.  One  can  sup  in  that 
city,  take  a  berth  in  the  sleeping  car  and  rise  to 
a  delicious  breakfast  of  lake  trout  at  Newport, 
on  the  shore  of  Lake  Memphremagog. 

From  the  White  Mountains  the  cars  are  taken 
at  the  Crawford  House.  The  main  line  is  inter- 
sected at  Wells  River,  forty  miles  north  of  White 
River  Junction.

to  the  Grand  Trunk  was  completed  July  1, 
1870,  and  the  traveler  goes  through  by  cars

to  far-famed  Quebec.  Thi8  place,  which  con- 
tains more  objects  of  interest  to  pleasure  seek- 
ers than  any  other  city  on  this  continent,  is  now 
70  miles  nearer  New  York  by  rail  than  before 
this  route  was  opened.  White  Mountain  trav- 
elers who  are  going  to  Canada  after  visiting  the 
mountains,  will  find  this  a  desirable  route,  as  it 
gives  them  an  opportunity  of  visiting  LaJce 
Memphremagog.  .. 

The  railroad  from  Newport  to  the  Grand 
Trunk,  intersecting  it  at  Lennoxville,  runs 
along  the  eastern  shore  of  Lake  Memphrema- 
gog for  two  or  three  miles,  and  thence  into  the 
valley  leading  to  the  Massawippi  Lake.  After 
it  reaches  this  lake,  for  six  miles  it  follows  the 
southern  shore,  and  then  passes  on  towards  the 
Grand  Trunk.  This  is  a  new  all-rail  route, 
and  it  opens  facilities  for  reaching  Quebec  that 
have  not  been  before  enjoyed.  Travelers  can 
now  go  to  Quebec  without  hindrance  or  fatigue. 
At  Quebec  one  feels  as  though  he  had  gone 
back  at  least  a  century  on  time's  calendar.

Everything  is  so  quaint  and  so  olden  that  it 
is  hard  for  the  traveler  to  feel  that  he  is  in  the 
nineteenth  century  and  upon  the  American 
continent.  No  city  on  this  side  of  the  Atlantic 
has  so  many  interesting  historical  events  con- 
nected with  it.  Its  wall  around  the  city,  huilt 
centuries  ago,  its  odd-looking  streets,  and  singu- 
larly appearing  people,  are  subjects  for  study. 
The  falls  of  Montmorenci,  eight  miles  below 
Quebec,  are  very  remarkable,  and  well  worth  a 
long  journey  to  see.  From  Quebec,  steamers 
run  down  the  St.  Lawrence,  and  up  the  far- 
famed  River  Saguenay,  where  there  is  scenery 
that  has  no  parallel  in  grandeur  and  sublimity 
on  the  face  of  the  globe.  The  distance  from 
Quebec  to  Ila !  Ha !  Bay,  as  far  as  the  steamers 
go,  is  200  miles,  and  the  trip  occupies  two  days. 
Steamers  are  also  run  every  night  between 
Quebec  and  Montreal.  These  boats  are  all 
large  and  well  managed.

FROM   MONTREAL  TO  BOSTON. 

The  recent  completion  of  the  South-Eastern 
Railway  between  Newport,  Vt.,  and  St.  John's, 
P.  Q.,  gives  a  new  Air  Line  route  by  rail  be- 
tween Montreal  and  Boston,  which  is  by  far  the 
finest  route  for  pleasure  travel  in  New  England. 

The  Montreal  and  Boston  Air  Line  is  com- 
posed of  the  South-Eastern  Railway  from  St. 
John's,  P.  Q.,  to  Newport,  Vt. ;  the  Passumpsic 
Railroad  from  Newport  to  Wells  River,  Vt. ; 
and  the  Boston,  Concord  &  Montreal  Railroad 
from  Wells  River  to  Concord,  N.  H. ;  and  upon 
no  other  line  is  there  anything  to  compare  with 
the  charming  scenery  of  this  whole  route.  It 
passes  through  the  most  picturesque  portions  of 
Inland  Canada  and  the  New  England  States, 
and  there  is  a  rapid  and  constant  succession  of 
beautiful  mountain,  lake  and  river  views.    The

South-Eastern  Railway,  by  which  the  traveler 
passes  froQi  St.  John's  to  Newport,  extends 
through  a  most  interesting  part  of  Canada,  and 
the  views  of  Jay  Peak,  Owl's  Head  and  Lake 
Memphremagog  are  surpassed  by  nothing  in 
American  scenery,  and  are  fuli^^  equal  to  the 
far-famed  lake  and  niountain  views  of  Switzer- 
land. From  Newport  to  Wells  River,  through 
the  Passumpsic  Valley  and  over  the  Passump- 
sic  oad,  there  are  grand  views  of  river  and 
mountain  scenery,  and  of  this  part  of  the  route 
it  is  enough  to  say  that  no  one  can  have  any  ad- 
equate idea  of  the  picturesque  scenery  of  north- 
ern New  England  until  he  has  been  through 
this  beautiful  valley.  Here  are  to  be  seen 
thrifty  villages,  fertile  farms,  silent  forests  and 
cooling  waters,  and  no  painter  has  ever  un- 
chained his  fancy  to  portray  upon  canvas  a 
tithe  of  the  beauties  of  Nature  which  have  been 
lavished  upon  this  region.  From  Wells  River 
to  Concord,  the  route  lies  at  an  easy  distance

ble expenditure  of  time  will  enable  one  to  visit 
Mount  Washington.  The  road  passes  through 
the  beautiful  Pemigewasset  Valley  and  near 
the  hotel  which  takes  its  name  from  the  valley 
and  does  it  no  discredit,  and  there  can  be  no 
more  absolute  and  perfect  rest  for  either  the 
practiced  tourist  or  the  hurried  man  of  business 
than  here,  at  the  foot  of  the  towering  peaks 
which  form  the  White  Mountain  range.  Lake 
Winnepesauke,  too,  stands  peerless  in  silent 
beauty,  her  placid  bosom  covered  with  islands 
ai.d  her  shores  feasting  the  eye  with  natural  at- 
tractions. From  Concord  to  Boston  the  route 
lies  along  the  busy  Merrimac  River,  whose  wa- 
ters furnish  the  power  for  the  four  great 
manufacturing  cities  of  Manchester  and  Nashua, 
N.  H.,  and  Lowell  and  Lawrence,  Mass.,  and  a 
ride  through  any  of  these  places  will  give  an 
excellent  idea  of  what  New  England  manufac- 
turing industry  is  doing  to  make  capital  pro- 
ductive and  labor  remunerative.
